trouble". The animals always listen to him. Zoom Boom always tells them the right things to do. Why is his name "Zoom Boom"? Well, I will leave that up to you to find out in this incredible story of safety and friendship.

This book is awesome! Children will love that all of the animals have names and personalities; even the crows! This book teaches kids to stay out of trouble, to recycle to save the earth, be kind to everyone, and to be a friend to everyone you know. The illustrations are great, as well!

Thank you to Mr. Joel Brown: author, Mr. Garrett Myers: illustrator, and Rapier Publishing Company for giving me a free ARC copy of this book to read and give my honest review

Scarecrow helps keep the animals on Farmer Don and his wife Mattie’s farm out of trouble by making good choices. The animal’s names are each a play on words (i.e. Graham Quakers, he’s a Duck, and Harmon the bird loves to sing) making it fun for children to make the connections. The pesky crows are also Zoom-Boom’s friends but they don’t always seem to make the best choices. This story is packed with lots of good advice about how to be a good person.

Zoom Boom is a scarecrow on a farm. He loves helping everyone and taking care of them. He makes sure they stay safe, especially the crows who are always getting into trouble.
